thanks for your comments and thoughts Christine and Mark. It's always comforting and less stressful for me to have you guys here that have been through this and can let me know what to expect. HBO is our last option before reconstruction so we have to do this. But first things first. Pet scan and then biopsy to see where we go next. Then HBO will be on the agenda if all comes back ok. PET scan is tomorrow, not sure on the biopsy yet. I have to do some ringing around to find out appointment times. Even though we were told they would ring with them, so far they haven't. We don't even have an appointment to find out the pet results as yet which is unusual. But I'll worry about that next week. Get the pet out of the way first. Mark I hope HBO works for you this time.
